We’re getting so very close to #WPKitchenParty (Canada’s largest celebration of preserving) – here’s the schedule of talks and demos for tomorrow (Sunday, September 14, 2014):

In addition to talks and demos, you can eat, sample and buy great food and drink, small batch preserves and artisanal food products. Honey, jam, jelly, pickles, kimchi, goat milk chocolate, local non-GMO cooking oils, hot sauces and more! Enjoy some great food, a glass of local wine, mead, cider or kombucha and talk preserving, farming and food with one of the many experts on site.

We are excited to have Marisa McClellan from Food in Jars visiting us this weekend! She arrives tomorrow and is doing a small (sold out) intimate preserving class with us. We’ll be touring around Toronto all weekend but you can come out and meet her on SUNDAY at the Kitchen Party (did I mention…it’s FREE?) Bring a copy of Food in Jars or Preserving by the Pint for Marisa to sign (she’ll have a very limited number of copies available for sale…i’d love to encourage you to buy from your local small book seller like: The Cookery on Roncy, or Type Books on Queen or Good Egg in Kensington!).

The event runs from 11-5 (and it’s free). You’ll find us at the North Exhibition Common, which is part of Harbourfront Centre) – there’s a map in the post card above (or on GoogleMaps)

I don’t normally push our own events this hard. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I visited 3 restaurants in Leslieville tonight and, with construction, there were a total of 8 people dining at them.

In order to promote local food businesses we are having a fundraiser at Hi-Lo tomorrow night (100% of proceeds are being donated to local charity; we’ll share the amount publicly of course) and are giving away more than 40 prizes from local restaurants. The prizes are meant to encourage the winners to get out on the town in the middle of construction season.

Prizes have been donated from:

The Riverside BIA

Leslieville Farmers Market

Left Field Brewery

F’Coffee

Dangerous Dan’s

Butchers of Distinction

Appetite

Hi-Lo

Table 17

Enoteca Ascari

Tabule

Aft

Prohibition

Glas Winebar

Skin and Bones

The Vine Agency

Rock Lobster

Boots and Bourbon

Comrade

Mary McLeods

Random House

Hooked

and more are still coming in…

We’ll be selling raffle tickets and encouraging all to mingle. There are more than 40 prizes and the bar fits about 60 people – your chances of winning are great!

(We start selling tickets at 7 and will start drawing at 8 and hope to wrap up draws by 10:30 if not earlier)

Please consider coming out and liking/ sharing this post to encourage others to do that same..

If you’re not in Toronto, you can still support your local businesses. Summer is a deceptively difficult time for many restaurants and small businesses and your support makes a big difference to them – and your community.
